Manchester United are continuing their search for a new midfielder and have now made an approach for Amadou Onana.

Onana has been a target for United for a number of months are they are now considering trying to sign the Everton midfielder. He would cost a big fee.

As reported by Jacob Steinberg, Manchester United have now approached Everton for midfielder Amadou Onana. United admire the player.

Onana would cost United around £50million, which may be a bridge too far. The club are on a sell to buy basis this summer due to FFP.

Everton are of course reluctant to sell a player they believe will only get stronger. United are keen on Onana as an alternative to Sofyan Amrabat.
